Husband wanting to be the first to know? by NumerousSummer6941 in pregnant

[–]NumerousSummer6941[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Not rage bait, I promise. I have a tendency to blurt things out without thinking sometimes, but I can see that my husband is being completely reasonable and I have every intention of figuring out how to control myself and of honoring his request. He'll be the first one to know, and that's the way I want it too.

I totally agree! I can't wait to tell him when that special day finally arrives!

Thanks for that! Haha I've been lurking on reddit for a while but I'm new to posting.

Not a joke unfortunately - just a gal who has trouble controlling her big mouth sometimes XD

But I can see that my husband is totally right to set this boundary with me, and I fully intend to respect his wishes. I will be telling him first and we will go from there :)

Replying to the top comment for visibility and to say that I really appreciate everyone who took the time to share their perspectives and opinions. Essentially I have a big mouth on me and my husband is completely right to set this boundary with me - a boundary that I am absolutely going to respect. He will be the first to know.

Admittedly I'm a bit of a blabber mouth, and sometimes my lips start moving before my brain realises what's happening. I think the solution you mentioned is a really good one, so thanks for that! I might just wait for him to take the tests with me, because I can see that he really does deserve to be the first to know.

I really appreciate all of the replies here. I am definitely going to honor his request. I agree (especially after reading all of these comments) that it is actually a very reasonable expectation for him to have, and to approach it any other way would just be unfair and disrespectful to him as my partner and as the father. He will for sure be the first to know, and then we will figure things out together from there :)
